Closer Launches in Alberta with Conveyancing Software Built for Western Closings

Closer, the conveyancing platform used by over 600 real estate law firms across Ontario, today announced its general availability to law firms in Alberta. The launch follows a 3-month early access program with 14 firms in Calgary, Edmonton, and across Alberta.

For years, conveyancing technology has suffered from stagnation, leaving legal professionals to rely on legacy software that fails to adapt to modern operational pressures. Closer enters Alberta as a direct response to a market underserved by existing platforms, offering a purpose-built alternative that streamlines property transactions and eliminates workflow bottlenecks.


Built for Alberta practice
  • Protocol matter workflow. Matters follow Western Law Societies’ Conveyancing Protocol closings, with the required documents and undertakings built in.
  • Alberta precedent library. Hundreds of documents drafted for Alberta practice, including Transfers of Land, Affidavits of Value, and Dower Affidavits.
  • Client-facing intake. Buyers and sellers submit details and documents through a secure portal that populates matters automatically and is included at no extra cost.
  • Digital identity verification. Treefort and FCT Client ID Verification integrations supporting client identification and fraud reduction.
  • In-platform Alberta title searches. Title and plan searches run through SPIN2 without leaving the matter, with support for ARLO as it becomes the system of record.
  • Lender and mortgage instruction processing. Digital handling of mortgage instructions from major Canadian lenders through FCT’s Lender Lawyer Connect and Sync included at no extra charge.
  • Title insurance ordering in-platform. Integrations with FCT, Stewart Title, and Chicago Title.
  • Integrated e-signing: Built-in DocuSign with SignIT for all standard real estate documents, allowing clients to sign remotely with zero transaction or add-on fees.
  • Alberta-based onboarding and support. Paralegals and product specialists based in Alberta, available 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. MT, backed by industry-leading 11-second response time and 99% client satisfaction rate.

“The transition to ARLO signals a new era of digital transformation for Alberta conveyancers. We’re excited to introduce Closer to the market at a time when firms are ready for real innovation. It represents the modern standard for property transactions, far surpassing what legacy platforms or basic software can offer.” said Harrison Kelly, CEO of Closer. “We designed Closer for Alberta to provide law firms with a modern, high-performance conveyancing solution without the heavy financial markup.”


Availability

Closer is available for Alberta firms today with exclusive early-adopter pricing for the first 6 months. Book a demonstration here.
